Uchiha Manor

[marvolous.]

"The purpose?" I pondered his question. I knew the answer, for I had many years to ponder my actions, but I allowed my mind to work, to really analyze the war that had occurred many years ago. "You ask why it was needed, and what purpose we had by doing what we did. And, yet, you seem to be forgetting the childhood you received as a result." Once again I moved, this time allowing my body to quite literally 'appear' by Agarumo's form. My hand was outstretched forward, pointing directly at his village below.

'All the pain, all the destruction; did it not bring your village together in the end? Your village was destroyed--" I paused, directing my gaze to a figure in the distance. At this distance we weren't able to see who it was, but soon he vanished - along with the entire village. In seconds, the village was no more - crushed and destroyed by what seemed to be the wrath of god. "But it came back even stronger than before. Not just in men and women as shinobi, but their bonds; war has that effect, Agarumo."

"Because of this war you and your brethren grew up without the fear of being attacked by another village. It brought years of peace, untainted by even a single attack on a nation. As the next generation of shinobi--" Another pause. I turned back to him, gripping his shoulder lightly again. "Your responsible for not letting your village forget what happened that day. That, as a shinobi, is your most powerful tool."

Even with Agarumo's Sharingan active, my chakra would have taken control of his mind with little to no effort. With it, he would be met with an uncontrollable feeling of drowsyness. At first the feeling would render everything blurry, but after a few seconds he would be unconscious. I used this opportunity to give him one last second strip of advice.

"If you don't want history to repeat itself," My words seemingly came out of nowhere for I had vanished from existence. "Never forget."

I’d turn away from the scene to the army, for I had already known the other side of the story. I’d seen it all too clearly in every dream I ever had since the day it happened. There was no mistaking it, he was clearly delivering me a message – and what he told me seemed obscured in its first form though I knew it to be much more.

…

I was silent as he spoke, allowing the hypnotic glare to finally ensare my body. No matter how much I wanted to look away.. I wanted to see what it looked like – the fully matured sharingan right before my very eyes. If I were to pluck them they would not hold the same glow as he, and in knowing that to be true I would only fall victim to such a feeble illusion,. knowing that my time would come one day to meet with him again

“You did not tell me what I wanted to know.. Chouro, you only reminded me of the horrible nightmare I faced those years ago…” the thought would melt away as I fell asleep. His powers must have truly been adept for when I fell asleep I would dream of my mother, my father and most of all my brother – moments where I’d felt most secure in my life. I would awake within the uchiha manor upon the ground as if watching the ceiling the entire time.

My body felt as if I had been worked out for several hours because as I rose my muscles seemed to tense. I would rise to full height and within a moments notice I would become a blur to the visual surrounding [3/15], disappearing from the compound in a matter of seconds in search for my younger brother.

Intriguing..
Rank: Adept. [C]

Reward: 50 EXP & 1000 Ryo.

'I guess I am known for something in Kohona.' Ranshi thought to himself as he walked the dirt trail heading towards the Uchiha compound, it had been quite sometime since the young man was assigned any missions. Though Ranshi didn't mind not doing missions because it gave him more time to study, but it did stop him from attending the Chunnin exams where he planned to shine this year.

"Next year is my year."

The boy would say as he arrived at the the steps of the Uchiha compound, the boy would shrug his shoulders because it wasn't the same as the one that they had before that war. But no matter what the Uchiha knew he had a mission he had to do, so he would make his way up the steps towards the courtyard. Arriving there the boy would begin to look around the courtyard, it was really a bunch of open space out here but Tenshi still took the time to search around the entire building.

"Well it seems as if we don't make good use of all this shit we got up here."

The boy would say as he arrived at the backyard of the large structure, it was covered with multiple sparing arena's along with what seemed like a grand stage arena. 'I bet big bro has done some damage in there, so has dad as well.' The boy thought to himself as he found him self lost in the thought of his family members. After a moment Tenshi would continue to look around the place looking for the Venus Fly Trap guy anywhere around.

"Don't know why he would snoop around here anyway, it's pretty dangerous you never know what Uchiha could be in these walls."

The boy would say as he walked along the side of the building heading back towards the front of the building, The mission wasn't over just yet there was more to do there was still the inside. Walking up to the front door Tenshi would open it and proceed to enter, 'So this is very similar to what it used to be.' cracking the door open, he'd would place his hand on the hilt of his blade.

The Help
Difficulty: Adept [C]
Task: Earlier a Uchiha by the name of Ranshi was sent to the Uchiha Compound to investigate the appearance of a strange ninja. This Uchiha is also one of your fellow shinobi and former classmates- be his lookout, but only interfere with his mission if things become too serious for him. Your task is to report the well-being of Uchiha Ranshi, and if necessary, help him in aid with the mission.
Reward: 50 EXP & 1,000 RYO.

The Uchiha Compound. Gaku had never been here before. For many decades his own family, the Hyuuga Clan, had shared a rivalry against the Uchiha as possibly the two most noble families out of clan's within the Hidden Leaf. He had heard stories of the Uchiha and their Sharingan from a variety of Hyuuga Elders. They were not to be underestimated. Gaku personally had never been acquainted to a member of the Uchiha Clan. Today he would meet his first.

He had already made his way into the Uchiha Compound, awaiting for the arrival of the Uchiha known as 'Ranshi'. His mission was to aid the young Uchiha with his own personal mission. Gaku understood that his own unique abilities, namely the Byakugan, could be used to not only track down the mysterious ninja Uchiha Ranshi was after, but to also be on lookout for any possible threats that the Uchiha boy could come across.

Although he was not involved with the direct investigation of the mysterious ninja, Gaku still understood that he would have to take his role very seriously.

He waited patiently in the main foyer just within the entrance to the compound building. He received a few awkward stares from various members of the Uchiha Clan, all bearing symbols of the clan across their clothing in different sorts, obviously wondering why a member of the Hyuuga Clan was in their compound. Gaku tried to phase their looks out of his system before realising the door of the compound was starting to open. Out stepped a boy with medium length hair down past his ears and some facial hair on his chin. He seemed to fit the character description given to him back at the headquarters, thus Gaku assumed that this was Uchiha Ranshi.

"You must be Uchiha Ranshi," Gaku proclaimed as the boy proceeded to enter into the foyer. "My name is Hyuuga Gaku. I've been assigned to be your 'eyes' for your task in tracking down the mysterious ninja." Gaku spoke with an awkward smile across his face as he showed the scroll displaying the information he had just spoken of, however finished off with the seal of the Hokage to prove its legitimacy. Gaku noticed the boy had grabbed ahold of the hilt of his blade seemingly prior to entering the room. "I hope that blade isn't for me," Gaku jokingly finished whilst rolling the scroll back up and slotting it in a pouch on his belt.

[iseelanden]

Walking into the building the Uchiha's right hand would be placed on the hilt of his blade, the blade was located on his right hip. 'Looks like bro doesn't trust me to do this by myself.' The Uchiha thought to himself as his hand slid of the hilt of the blade as the man would begin to speak, as the Hyuuga was confirming his identity. Tenshi would give the boy a simple head nod allowing the boy giving his fellow Shinobi time to explain his reasons.

"Well I guess big bro is taking this Venus Fly Trap guy serious."

Tenshi would say as the man finished up his statement about his mission, 'I guess a Hyuuga could be of good use considering my Sharingan hasn' t even became active.' The boy thought to himself as he looked around the lobby of the Uchiha compound, it wasn't a well or to well put together it had looked as if the Uchiha hadn't touched this building in a while. 'Hallways, and rooms.'

"Yeah, I think we should check out a couple of these rooms."

The boy would say as he began to walk down the main hallway that housed the most rooms, the young Uchiha would keep a slow walk as he arrived at the first room turning to the Hyuuga.

"Yeah, you take the other side."

He would say as he pushed the door in, the room only held a small bed and a desk. 'I think they should start putting this place to use.' The Uchiha thought to himself as he walked into the room looking around it for a second. There wasn't too much in the room so Tenshi would leave the room,

"Nothing there, lets keep on checking."

[chiatsuki]

GM

A giggle would procure from the room that Ranshi turned away from- surely alerting the two that they were not alone. If they were to turn their heads they would see nothing, only the description noted from the previous statements given from Tenshi. If Gaku were to activate his byakugan, traces of chakra would be seen lining the right side of the wall - tracing around the entire building.

Continue.

[Yox]

Venus Fly-trap? What was the Uchiha going on about? Gaku was currently unaware of the character description of the mysterious ninja Ranshi was looking for. Perhaps it would be a good idea if he enquired more into what sort of person they were looking for. "I don't suppose you good fill me in with some sort of brief appearance concerning the person we're after?" Gaku questioned Ranshi, following closely behind the Uchiha as he peered into a few rooms they came across as they both moved through the compound. As Ranshi checked one room, Gaku clicked open the opposite door along the corridor. It seemed they were both unlucky in finding what they were looking for.

It was time for Gaku to add a little more detail to their tracking. He had been blessed with the bloodline limit of his Byakugan, thus assumed it the perfect time to put it to use. After all, that was why he was selected to go on this mission. Upon hearing a slight giggle, Gaku turned his head back to the room in which Ranshi had just looked in and deemed 'clear' of any traces. Confused, Gaku channelled chakra around the area of his eyes. "Byakugan," he murmured rather quickly as his eyes began to transform. Veins pulsated around the area of his eyes immediately after the technique was performed. His eyes could now easily see through objects as if they were intangible. Scouting the room that the sound of laughter had just come from, Gaku immediately came to a confused conclusion. He could see the outline of chakra within a single wall which seemed to trace more and more along the areas of the compound. "We're not alone... something's in there. It's in the walls. What the hell is this? I've never seen this before. It's as if someone is actually 'one' with the walls of the compound. You better start explaining what the hell you're actually trying to find."

[/justify]

[iseelanden]

As the two Genin made there way through the compound, Gaku would inquire about what they were looking for. The boy would make sort a confused face as the boy asked the question.

"Well, that's weird. But they said were were looking for some type of man that was travling in a Venus Fly Trap. They didn't give me much info about him, so that's why we have to check out the manor."

The boy would say as he would hear a laugh coming from the last room he checked, he would quickly turn around quickly but there was nothing. As Gaku activated his Byakugan Ranshi would looking around the room once more hoping that he could see something, but there was nothing 'if only.' he would say as he would hear Gaku going on about someone being in the wall.

"What? In the wall? Try your best to follow that trail of Chakra Gaku."

The young Uchiha would say as he would grab a Kunai from his bag, it wasn't much but the boy expected Gaku to have his back at least with seeing this guy because his dormant eyes were no use.

[chiatsuki]

GM

"Aaah- I was coming here for the chance at nabbing a sharingan. What are the odds I'll grab two dojutsu?! Ahuu!"

A head would pop out from the cieling- black and white on either side, tongue sticking out as if licking their scents within the air like a predator snake. He would not waste time in completing a set of seals- a rather elongated sequence which seemed to blur if anyone tried to capture it.

[/sup] prep[/ul]
[/blockquote][/justify][/font]

[Yox]

Gaku stood taken aback by what seemed to unfold next. As he felt the presence of Ranshi slide behind him with his kunai drawn at the ready, the creature began to emerge from the wall itself. It was as if its body was intangible and it could travel through solid objects. The fly-trap itself became more visible now.

Gaku suddenly remembered the details of the mission. He was supposed to stand back and allow for Ranshi to engage with the mysterious ninja. Gaku was to act in a supporting role, acting as the sensory and lending assistance when Ranshi required it. Gaku quickly dropped behind Ranshi to the entrance of the room, closing the door and sealing the three of them within the single area.

"I've never seen anything like this before. I'll keep a close eye on him from here. It seems that you've been given the task to handle him. Good luck Ranshi. Tell me when you want me to do something," Gaku spoke out with his Byakugan still activated. He focused on the body of the abomination that stood before them now that began to string his hands through a cluster of seals. "Get ready," Gaku warned Ranshi as he himself prepared for the incoming offense.

Gaku wondered whether Ranshi had unlocked his Sharingan yet, or at least awoken the beginning stages. It would be so much easier to track the mysterious ninja if the both of them could see the lining of chakra. Nevertheless, the Hyuuga kept his eyes on the subject at hand. Could Ranshi match up against this mysterious ninja?

[/justify]

[iseelanden]

As my Kunai was drawn a head would begin the Flytrap would begin to emerge from ceiling, the young Uchiha with his dormant sharingan was of no use if he had let the man retract back into the ceiling. So as the mans black and white head began to emerge from the ceiling with his tongue swinging the Uchiha would fire off his Kunai as he jumped back towards the door as Gaku did attempting to go for it.

"You're going to have to be my eyes, I can't see him if he goes back into the wall."

The boy would say as he pulled three tagged Kunai from his bag firing them at the wall across them from detonating them attempting to destroy the wall to lead to the outside. If thing went as planed the wall would blown out clearing a path to outside of the manor. If everything went as planned and the boy had an opening he would run out of the side of the Uchiha manor, attempting to get to the outside where it would be a little more balanced for himself. If Gaku was smart he would follow behind the Uchiha.

Kunai Untaggedx1
Kunai taggedx3

[chiatsuki]

GM

The young Hyuuga had done his part well, but that was from what he could tell. He had been focused on the ceiling, to his right, his left- but he’d forgotten to check one angle- the ground. From underneath him a strange growth had begun to form around him, and seeing as he hadn’t moved nor motioned towards moving away from his position it would have been too late for him to respond. His feet, and soon to be legs, would become trapped as the moss continued to flow..

meanwhile (Ranshi)

Your tagged kunai would be shot down from a younger uchiha. His sharingan was fully active with three tomoe within lock of everything happening.

“Don’t harm the Manor Ranshi! You have to kill dem without explosions!”

As he spoke the kunai that was untagged would be sent flying to the target. It would hit at the surface of the plant canvassing the plants head. The kunai would knock back down to the floor and the ‘creature’ would begin merging back into the ceiling.

“That all you got? Ahahahaha. This is going to be very interesting…”

A few seconds would pass by as he travelled at high speeds to his next destination… the little boy. He would begin to merge from behind the little boy, not yet entrapping him..instead… bringing out his full height from behind, and above, him.

[Yox]

Gaku watched ahead intently as Ranshi flung out a series of kunai armed with explosive tags toward the far wall. Was the Uchiha boy crazy? An explosion at this range would surely send bits of shrapnel from the wall back toward the direction of the both of them. Gaku attempted to move his feet in order to take cover from the explosion, however seemingly unable to do so. He glanced down to the floor, shocked as to what he found.

The Byakugan depicted what seemed to be a mass root system, containing the chakra of the mysterious ninja, that was underneath them. It looked as if there was a growth of a sticky substance that was able to lock whoever stood on it in place. Gaku noticed the growth accumulating around both of his feet, explaining why he wasn't able to move from the spot at the moment. He quickly looked up to Ranshi.

"Stay light on your feet Ranshi. This mysterious ninja has a technique in which we can be glued to the floor if we are caught up in it for too long. Don't give him the upper hand and an opening by immobilising yourself! If this thing is really a plant, perhaps you should make use of some signature Uchiha fire release techniques? We have to be careful though. We cannot destroy the Uchiha manor in the process."

Gaku looked ahead as what seemed to be another member of the Uchiha clan suddenly arrive into the scenario. Perhaps this Uchiha member was unaware of the current situation, finding no real reason as to why Ranshi would start attempting to blow up a wall in the Uchiha manor. As the Uchiha boy had his attention fixed onto both Gaku and Ranshi, the mysterious ninja made his way behind the boy and took full advantage of the opening that had been created.

The Byakugan could see the enemy ninja as he slithered out of the wall. "Ranshi, the boy! Don't worry about me. Just focus on that 'thing' and now... the boy," Gaku calmly stated.

[iseelanden]

'Well.' The boy thought to himself as his plans didn't go as planned at all, the satiation just seemed to keep getting weirder by the second as his Kunai hit the plant like structure that covered the black and white head of the monster. 'Well, isn't this a piece of work.' The boy thought to himself as he turned towards the younger boy telling him not to harm the manor, The boy would feel a slightly surprised feeling in his body seeing the three Tomoe. The boy had to be younger than Ranshi and he had already had his tomoe, but he couldn't have been to well known because he had never caught sights of this boy around the village or manor.

"This isn't the best time to be thinking about this replica Manor."

Ranshi would say with a straight face as Gaku would alert every one of the mans ability to grow some type of moss that could glue them to ground. Ranshi remained alert as the flower man talked a little shit as he began to merge with the wall again, Once again Ranshi was rendered useless because he still had a dormant sharingan. But thanks to who his teammate was he was allowed a bit of insights on the mans locations were within the wall. He would scream out to the Uchiha about protecting the other Uchiha boy, as Ranshi turned to face the boy the man had already began to emerge from the wall.

"Shit."

Ranshi would say to himself, he didn't think an Uchiha with such powerful eyes could be caught of guard so easy. It was as if the man was attempting to prey on the younger Uchiha, Ranshi couldn't be more than a couple of feet from the other Uchiha considering they were inside one of the residential rooms. As the man more of the mans body began to emerge from the wall the Older Uchiha would quickly grab his blade, he would move towards the younger Uchiha postiion. But as the mans entire body emerged the Ranshi would preform an upward slash attempting to cut off one of the the plant monsters arms.

"Move!"

Kodachi

[Yox]

Note: Since you're going to fight it, I'll just GM it. Sohyo said that he was only GM'ing to introduce the character. So let's just get this finished with two more posts from the both of us. Then we can finally end this very prolonged mission ;}

---

The young Uchiha boy (NPC) smirked quite confidently to the other Uchiha opposite from him (Ranshi). This was his first mistake. The boy had let his guard down, trying to show off to the pair of genin that stood opposite them who were attempting to take down the foreign ninja. The boy noticed that the Hyuuga looked in his direction with a frightened look across face. It was then that the boy realised what he had fallen into. The most simplest of traps. All it took was one distraction.

The kid watched as Ranshi edged toward him with his kodachi drawn. By then it seemed too late. Tilting his head around, the young Uchiha (NPC) watched as the plant-like creature resurfaced from the wall. It's arms were stretched out in an attempt to grab him, however thankfully the boy had been blessed into the right family. His Sharingan, unlocked at a level-three tomoe stage, predicted the incoming movement of the creatures hands. Through this, the boy was able to quickly shift to the side out of the mysterious ninja's grasp and avoid falling victim to the vicious jaws of the venus fly-trap.

Frantic, the young Uchiha (NPC) quickly leaped further away from the creature. It seemed as if it's unnatural look had gotten to him and had actually frightened him. The young Uchiha took out of the room in an instant, rushing off down the corridor and calling out some sort of name. It seemed as if he was going off to find an Elder clansman to come to their aide. That wouldn't be required though. Surely the two genin that had been assigned this task could take down this foreign foe. If they didn't take him down soon though, assistance would come and dispose of this creature before they would have the chance. That would end in a failed mission.

---

"I've got you now boy," the plant-like creature thought to himself as the Uchiha child (NPC) was just an inch away from his grasp. However, in an instant, everything just changed. The Hyuuga, who had been monitoring his movement across the room, had yelled out to both the Uchiha boy at his front and the one who stood at the other side of the room (Ranshi). His cry of warning allowed for the boy to turn around and make use of his bloodline trait by predicting the abominations movements in order to avoid them. Blast. He had gotten so close as well. Perhaps he had under estimated the duo that had been assigned to remove his presence from the manor. Nevertheless, he wasn't just going to give up.

The movement of the young boy (NPC) away from his presence was replaced by an incoming attack from the other (Ranshi). The black-side of the mysterious ninja quickly mumbled something to itself in a dark tone. "Incoming. Let's move," the black-side said to it's counterpart. "No, no. I have a better idea," the white-side responded. In an instant, the creature slammed it's hands into a single-handed seal. "Wood Release Technique," the white one spoke out after the seal had been formed into place. In an instant, a wooden pillar came out from it's body and caught the incoming blade. The blade would come into contact with the pole of wood, slicing into it and making it difficult to break free from it.

"You wont be as lucky as your little 'brother'. This time, my meal will not be getting away," the white-side suddenly giggled out. From there, the jaws of its venus fly-trap aimed downward at Ranshi who would stand there with his blade forced into the pole of wood. If Ranshi didn't act soon, the jaws would come crunching down on his body and rip him to pieces. What would the Uchiha boy do?

---

Gaku watched as the liability finally decided to leave the room. It came as a relief to Gaku, finally being able to just focus on Ranshi and the mysterious ninja that stood in front of them. What were they going to do? Ranshi had just rushed in headlong toward the plant-man in an attempt to save his fellow clansman. It was a bold act, but it was also quite stupid. Around the entirety of the room the plant creature had some sort of root system. If Ranshi wasn't careful, an incoming attack could come from anywhere. As Ranshi ran, Gaku attempted to warn him of the possible threats. "Be careful Ranshi! Don't just run in ther-..." but it was too late.

Ranshi had gone straight into combat with the unknown ninja. They didn't know what abilities he possessed. It was something rash, but Gaku supposed it had to be done. The plant-man needed a distraction to allow for the younger Uchiha (NPC) boy to escape unharmed. Gaku really hated it when helpless people became involved in dangerous scenarios. Nevertheless, he had to focus. Gaku watched as the blade would come into contact with the wooden pole. Perhaps this could be an opening? If someone were to hold the plant-man in place, Ranshi would have an opening to attack. Gaku had to act, and he had to act fast. But there was one problem. He was stuck.

Channeling chakra around his body, Gaku would attempt to break free from the prison that held him to the ground. "Ultimate One Body Blow," he mumbled to himself very quickly whilst slamming his hands into a set of seals. In an instant, chakra expelled from his body and removed anything that was binding him away. The spores of moss on his feet simply fell off and he was finally free to move again. He couldn't just stop there though. In an instant, Gaku rushed over to Ranshi's aid and dived for the kodachi. He tightly gripped over the free area of space on the hilt of the blade that had been lodged within the wooden pole and yelled out an instruction to Ranshi. "Quickly Rashi! I've got him held here. Use fire release now!"
